Dutch Language and Culture

Dutch is Very Hard to Pronounce I've heard.

But I can Try to Explain it.

D- Same in "Den"

A- Well, its the clean British sort of A, like in "All"

n- As normally Like "Net"

k- as u Pronounce the C in "Cat"

.

In short, " dank " rhymes with Yank, as in " the cellar was dark and dank "

.

J- pronounced as the Y in "yarn"

e- Pronounced like the a in "An" But in this word, its a "Stomme e" Which means u pronounce it as the u as in "Utterly"

Now My mouth maneuvers

D- Put Your tongue against the back of your Tooth, And let out a small burst of breath. then quickly move your Tongue away.

A- Open your mouth, Put your Tongue a bit back, And let the air burst upwards.

N-Put your tongue against the Middle of The Top of your Mouth (blockade the air) and burst out upward air.

K.Position your tongue At the "N" Position, And then burst out air, and quickly Move away your tongue (Like at D)

J- As in "Yes", No need to explain

e. This one is kind of hard to explain... at least it has A Upward Burst.

But its nicer to say "Dank u"

But that "u" Is harder to pronounce then the "Utterly" kind of u.

I know, its really confusing, so you should probably find a vocal of someone saying Dank je.

The reason Philip treated the dutch so harshly was because of the fact that the Dutch were protestant. Philip II was an absolute ruler which meant he had absolute control over a certain nation, in this case, Spain. Two of Philip's goals were to defend Christianity and to make Spain wealthy. He demanded one religion, Catholicism, and he taxed the Dutch because there trading and banking brought a lot of money into the Netherlands.
